    A GC without air? Thats unusual since most were well optioned.

    Both my Bee and GC were built in los angeles.There are alot of areas down there were it is 70 degrees year around with no need for A/C.Where i live its can get 105 plus in the summer,winters are around 50.It did have an aftermarket A/C in it but i took it all out.I am not a fan of A/C in a muscle car.It looks much cleaner without and you can do more to the engine without having to worry about drive pully's.Its is wierd though,optioned rally dash,383-4barrel,am-8 track(still in the dash with a doobie bros tape in it as i found the car)and the normal GC stuff,no A/C.Numbers match completely on everything,kind of rare since most of these cars were cloned into Cudas.My Bee is manual steering,no a/c and 4 speed.I was glad to see that so i can go as big a cam as i want without having to worry about Vacuum.

    Awesome, I love that color, too.   :2thumbs:

    BUT, the sides of that trailer scare the CRAP out of me!  There is no way I would have that thing that close.   :scared: :scared:
    I have hauled MANY cars with my 20' tilt trailer.Once you strap everything down it doesnt move at all.You just have to be somewhat careful loading the car,no big deal.I actually like the side rails.I can haul much more than just cars.I can get around 70plus bails of alfalfa on that trailer :bigsmile:

    Well more acurately the project started a year ago.Took him 6 months to get the doors,trunk lid,hood,fenders,valances ect back,the roller you see he has had more than 6 months as well.So it has been a year.I have had my ups and downs with this painter,he's flakey at best,but they all are.Not sure i will do business with him again on my Bee even though he does nice work,if you can get him to work on it. :villagers:

    Car looks great!! I think it will look awesome with the green/white combo.  :droolingbounce:

     Are the tail panels always body colored on the GC cars? I thought they were silver or something.

    I read your post again.I think you might be assuming the car is driven on the trailer,that would scare me too.That isnt the case.I just hook up the winch and slowly pull it onto the trailer,it comes off just as easy

    Really looks great!  Don't feel bad, my painter is slow too, in fact he is sitting here typing this message instead of working on my car.  ;D
